Can I get a Whoop-Whoop?? Funky Geese!

It's finally Friday! I hope you've had a great week - I feel like I got a lot accomplished this week, even though I've only got one near-finish to show off today.....

This quilt is being made for a young man, 14 years old, who was diagnosed with lymphoma recently. His colors of choice? Red, purple and lime green!! So here's what I came up with....

Sorry about the picture - it rained here all day long!

The red and purple piece behind the grey top is the backing - but it looks pretty interesting as a border! I'm hoping to get this quilt on the frame and quilted tomorrow, although I'm still trying to decide exactly how to quilt it. I'd like to have it ready to deliver by Monday. I'm thinking about binding it in a semi-scrappy binding - strips of Kona Coal interspersed with scraps of the lime, red, and purple fabrics. What do you think?

*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*

So that's my accomplishment for the week...

What have you been working on?

As you can see, it doesn't have to be a finish...

So write a post and link up!

(If you don't have a blog, you can link to a pic in Flickr)

We can't wait to cheer you on!!

Hugs!

Sarah

Speaking as a mother with two 15 year olds I think you have got this quilt just right -and what's more I think the idea of a scrappy binding sounds just perfect! I am sure he is going to love it - just a shame he gets it is sad circumstances but I am sure it will give him much pleasure!

I opened up a copy of Lifeway's new "More Living" and there you were on the inside cover! I thought, HEY! I follow that blog!!! You looked great and it was a very nice article on both you and Nancy. :)

Welcome!!

Welcome to my blog and thanks for stopping by! I'm Sarah, and my crafting passion is quilting. My wonderful husband calls it an obsession! I quilt for our church's quilt ministry, which sprang up from humble beginnings in November 2009, when a group of non-quilters made a quilt for a young woman in our church diagnosed with cancer. Since that time, we've made and distributed more than 1,000 quilts..... so it looks to be a busy and growing ministry! If you have fabric stash weighing you down, please consider donating it to our quilt ministry! You can contact me via e-mail - we take all kinds of quilting fabrics and turn them into quilty comfort!!
